Fall is upon us bringing golden hues to the mountains. As the air turns crisper welcoming the fresh cold weather, a mountain home at Lake Tahoe means winter fun is coming soon! We love our region for its convenient access to year-round adventures. What should you look for to make a home into a sanctuary during a mountain winter? Try these features:
 1. Ski in/out Access – Living at a property with a ski-in/out option provides direct access to the slopes allowing more time to enjoy the snow. No worries about hazardous driving conditions or which ski resort to go to. This will also minimize property snow removal needs. |
 2. Heated Floors – Even a well heated home can still have cold floors in the winter. Heated floors are a treat for the feet when used on non-carpeted flooring especially in bathrooms. A bonus about radiant heat is that it provides consistent and evenly distributed heat. |
 3. Custom Mudroom – No matter what your favorite winter sport is, designing your mudroom to have shelves, racks, and cubbies provide the functionality you need. This transitional space is not only where you can take off your gear, but it could be the ultimate space to house your boot dryer, gear lockers, utility sink and washer dryer station. |
 4. Fireplaces – Yes, even in the modern day of Nest control systems nothing replaces the traditional fireplace to bring warmth and coziness to a space. Amp up the luxury with a shared wall fireplace allowing two different rooms to share the same firing warmth. |
 5. Hot Tub – After a day’s adventure out in the cold, a hot tub is a great way to warm up the core, relax, and soothe any joint pain or stiffness. This amenity brings additional luxury to your mountain living. |
